Monitoring and reporting of communications line traffic information

摘要

Graphical views of data are provided on a near real time basis. Providing graphical representations of estimated resource utilization calculations on a near real time basis for review by the subscriber is very useful because it avoids the problem of not being able to make useful sense of a true real time utilization display due the bursty nature of such data streams. The near real time display is also advantageous over the conventional database formats that do not provide data on a timely basis and that place a substantial search and processing burden on the subscriber seeking to view the data. A display is provided in near real time that is based on statistical analysis of an appropriate time sample and that is then promptly provided for viewing remotely.
